2004 Raider

I have to be honest.When I first saw pictures of this bike on Craigslist a year or so ago,I didnt like it.I like green,but usually dont care for the lime greens,etc.Im not a big fan of flame paint jobs to boot.
I actually won 2nd place in Easyriders subscription give away last year…..and turned it down.It was a flame paint job,valued at $10,000 by “King of the Flames”,Dave Perewitz.I didnt think my 02 Heritage Springer,or 07 Ultra Classic were worthy of a $10,000 paint job,Im not into flames,and Im not paying taxes on a paint job I wont like.Yes,they sent the tax forms along too!
A few months later,a friend from Maryland called to tell me about a Raider he saw on e-Bay.He knew I was looking for a Raider,and was really excited about what he saw.After looking at the pics on the auction,and talking to the seller,I made my bid.Didnt hit the sellers reserve,but I was high bidder.Less than a minute after the auction ended,the phone rang.It was the seller in Colorado.A deal was struck,and the seller said he would check with Thunder Mountain H-D to see if they had a shipper to recommend.
After waiting what seemed like an eternity for the bike to get here,when the driver dropped the tailgate and opened the trailer door….my jaw hit the ground! Wow! This thing is awesome! The shadows beneath the pinstripes really add a depth Ive never seen in a flame paint job.I couldnt be happier with this bike,and after working out some bugs from mostly not being ridden enough,its proven to be a reliable custom.
